NEW YORK, NY, March 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- alphaDIRECT Advisors, an Investor Intelligence firm, announced today that Shawn Severson, Founding Partner, conducted a review of Westport Fuel Systems to discuss the current regulatory environment with focus on the European carbon dioxide emissions standards with David Johnson, Chief Executive Officer.

“With commercial trucks being responsible for almost 25% of the CO₂ produced by all transportation, the recently implemented emission regulations in Europe are  a significant milestone for the industry and the environment. The regulations are not only the toughest in the world with respect to CO₂ but also include cash penalties for each vehicle that do not meet the requirements. Westport Fuel System’s HPDI technology fueled by liquefied natural gas reduces the CO₂ emissions from a heavy-duty truck  by approximately 20% meeting the 2025 interim target, according to the company. When fueled by renewable gas, HPDI offers a compliance pathway to exceed the 2030 requirement for a 30% CO₂ reduction. This Management Series focuses on how the European regulations affect  the freight industry, the markets, and specifically, Westport Fuel Systems and its commercially available HPDI systems,” said Mr. Severson, Founding Partner of alphaDIRECT Advisors.
